The Rain

Rain, rain how beautiful it looks
Gentle and soft the pellets fall
tender to the skin, causing Life
Green Plants happy, Animals hiding
oh how welcoming is the Rain.

The sand sweeps up in angry motion
the leaves and trees bend like they break
paper and nylons fly, dirt dim my vision
never have i liked the sand storm
people run into hiding avoiding the dust

The soft gentle cool wind blowing
and soft pellets of the Rain falling
How I love to Dance in the Rain!
sweetly cold it is to my warm skin
Oh! sooner or later i would be cold

The dangerous bright light of Lighting
followed by the heavy clap of thunder
it seems the roofs are going to pull off
and the window panes going to shatter
Oh! how treacherous the rain looks!
